| | | Cancer, especially terminal cancer is not something I would wish on anyone, and fair enough she wants to make as much money as possible to leave her kids. However, the woman was never exactly skint to begin with, it is not like if she never did another interview that her kids would be left penniless. I blame Max Clifford partly for parading her infront of the cameras like some kind of freak show, whilst happily pocketing his percentage of the profits.
One thing that has really got to me about Jade's on going death is that in all the time she has had cancer she has never done a single thing to promote or help any cancer charities or organisations. With her being in the public eye, even a small kind recognition of the carers who have helped her would not go amiss. The woman has lived without dignity and shame and seems will die without these too.
I also hate the way she made her illness into a comeback. I mean if any of you had been unwell, having tests for cancer and told to expect the worst would you go into a big brother house the eve before your test results were to be revealed?
Sadly many other young women will tragically loose their lives to cancer, possibly leaving little ones behind, what makes Jade;s story any more tragic than theirs? Because she is famous, famous for what? Going on big brother a few times and being a bigot.
If I found out I were dying of some horrible disease with 8 weeks to live, I wouldn't waste my time parading myself in front of the camera I would be spending my precious time remaining with my family, no amount of money you could offer me would stop me from doing this.
Last point, I suspect that she has married Jack Tweed just so she can have a wedding before she pops her clogs, if she weren't dying I doubt very much he and her would not have got back together after he left prison. I also found it interesting how she wants "Jade Goody" on her head stone not "Jade Tweed". Jade's death will be a shame but I won't miss her one bit. |

I would have thought there wouldn't actually be all that much money in being a former reality TV contestant, especially one who was generally condemned by the public as a racist moron.

| | | she had a ****load of merchandise, like perfume, fitness dvds, books and stuff, i think under all the bigotry and general ignorance there was a pretty adroit business machine, that or she had someone behind her pulling the strings. either way i think she made a pretty penny.
i think the way it's being paraded through the media is pretty degrading, and whilst i do regret the fact she's dying i don't like the way she is being sanitised and turned into this saintly figure. im probably getting too cynical but it's as bad as kerry 'mum of the year' katona.
key point in hand being the reason the bloody justice secretary had to step in to make the wedding possible was because her lovely betroathed took a golf club to a kid. shame mr straw didnt have such a bleeding heart when he was rousing us all for the invasion of iraq. im going well off topic here.
but to summarise: shame she's dying, doesn't change my opinion of her, and i really wish she had decided to retreat from the public eye and deal with it personally, because this is leaving quite an icky feeling
but then she's dying so in some respect she's entitled to do what the **** she likes |

As I recall, she was hardly the slimmest of figures before all this cancer business.
